Hall of Game Awards 2014: Date, Time, Nominees, TV Info and More

On Monday, the spectacle that is the 2014 Hall of Game Awards will take place. Containing one's excitement for an awards show that honors cartoon characters, athletes, pop icons and team mascots is almost impossible.

The show will be hosted by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Carolina Panthers signal-caller Cam Newton. The two young and up-and-coming stars have established a little bit of a rivalry on the gridiron.

Despite the competitiveness on the football field, Newton told Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle:

"I’m looking forward to sharing the stage with Cam as host this year. We’ve both made appearances at past shows, but taking over as hosts? Let’s just say we’re going to take it to another level."

Expect to see some bicep kissing and invisible "S" revealing from the two of them. It would be really awesome if Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman were there to spice up the mic work.

Nobody has more game than him, on the field or on the mic.

Oh well, a man can wish, can't he?

Here's how you can watch the show and wish Sherman would storm the stage like Kanye West.

When: Monday at 7 p.m. EST

TV: The Cartoon Network

Musical Guests

You can't have an awards show without musical guests. It could be the silent movie awards, and somebody would still have to sing. It's like a rule.

Doing the honors for the Hall of Game Awards are Fall Out Boy and Jason Derulo. Local retailers are being asked to order twice as many pairs of skinny jeans.

I really like this song, no matter how small Patrick Stump's pants are.

This one seems pretty easy. How could the Seahawks' 12th man not win? I mean they are paying Texas A&M University $5,000 a year for the use of the term.

Considering Seattle won the Super Bowl and the Aggies didn't even play in a BCS bowl game, I'd say the Seahawks are getting better use of the term.

We Got Game!

The Heat won their second straight championship, and their NBA Finals performance featured a classic Game 6 come-from-behind win. They are the choice here.

It's hard to imagine how the Alabama Crimson Tide fit in this category, though. Not only did they fail to reach the BCS title game, but the Tide were also upset by the Oklahoma Sooners in the Sugar Bowl.
